    disk/belt sander (Reliant)

    Whats the skinny on disk/belt sanders? I would be using one for steel. What is the ideal SFPM on one? Is there a difference (RPM?) between ones designed for wood and metal? Ive ran across this on CL, 6" belt 9" disc sander. The guy is asking a hundred bucks. Do you think it is worth it?
